Papaya HalwaIt’s an Indian-style dessert made of semi-ripe papaya. You already heard about a carrot and Moong Dal Halwa. My idea is to mix some health with the sweet. If you are more health aware you can adjoin jaggery as an alternative to sugar. I added sugar, khova (dry milk product); some dry fruits and fat in it. |

Banana and Granola MuffinsYou can have breakfast in a muffin with your choice of ingredients. Make these with walnuts, almonds or pecans; select raisins, dried cranberries or coconut, and use your favorite granola flavor. If you wish to substitute buttermilk in place of regular, as I often do in baked products, see Useful Link below that I will be posting. |

Caraway Rye Rolls or SlidersPerfect as rolls, or as sliders for corned beef sandwiches. Bake them apart on baking sheets for sliders, or in a 9 x 13 baking pan for pan rolls. I used a bread machine on the dough setting, then shaped, and baked in oven, but you can also make these in the conventional yeast roll method without a bread machine. |
